GENERAL INFORMATION
SCHOOL DAY
The school day at North and South High Schools consists of eight periods, one period being
scheduled for lunch. The Technical Center school day is divided into blocks of time depending
upon the particular career and technical education program. Career and Technical Education
students eat lunch at their home school. In periods not filled with a course or lunch, students will
be assigned to study halls.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance and punctuality are the responsibility of the student and parent(s)/guardian(s). The
school’s responsibility is to provide instruction. By state law, regular attendance is mandatory
for all students. When a student is absent, a parent/guardian is required to notify the
school as early in the day as possible. If a call is not received, a note (signed by the
parent/guardian) excusing the student is required. A statement stating the reason for the
absence must be included.
MINIMUM COURSE LOAD
Students must take between 5.50 and 6.00 units of credits each school year to ensure meeting
the requirement of 21.5 credits necessary for graduation.
 Both required and elective courses must equal the 21.5 credit count. Students are
strongly encouraged to take additional credits each year.
 Recommended maximum credits per year are 6.00.
 Students who are involved in athletics are responsible for checking that they are
scheduled for at least five credits each semester.
CLASS STANDING
To achieve sophomore, junior, or senior class standing and be placed in the corresponding
homeroom, students should have earned the minimum number of credits indicated below:
Sophomore Class 5 credits accumulated
Junior Class
10 credits accumulated
Senior Class
15 credits accumulated
If a student is in his/her fourth year of high school and is enrolled in a sufficient number of
courses so that passing all those courses would give that student sufficient credits to
graduate, that student will be classified as a senior and become a candidate for graduation.
All Willoughby-Eastlake School courses required for graduation are aligned to the Ohio
Department of Education’s New Learning Standards and College and Career Ready
Standards, which are available online at: http://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Academic-ContentStandards/New-Learning-Standards
1
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
For the 2014-2015 school year, all students must complete 21.5 units of high school credit in grades 8

may substitute a different half- unit credit class in any subject for the physical education unit.
***Electives units must include one or any combination of World (Foreign) Language, Fine Arts, Business, CareerTechnical Education, Family and Consumer Sciences, Junior ROTC Programs, Technology, Agricultural Education
or English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science or Social Studies courses not otherwise required. Students must
complete at least 2 semesters of Fine Arts taken any time in grades 7-12. Students enrolled in a “Career-Technical
track”-interpreted by the ODE as a minimum of one credit or one year in coursework representing coherent
sequential Career-Technical content, are exempt from the Fine Arts requirement.

DIPLOMAS AND STATE TESTING
In order to receive a high school diploma, a student must pass all statewide tests required by the Ohio
Department of Education and meet the requirement of 21.5 units of credit.
ACCELERATED STUDENTS
In 2006, The Ohio Department of Education passed a new resolution #3324.10 (part of House Bill 66)
which now allows an accelerated student to apply for “early graduation” if the student has met all of the
state and Willoughby-Eastlake district’s requirements for graduation. In addition, said student must also
pass all statewide tests required by ODE. Any student meeting all the criteria for early graduation, must
state his/her intention in writing to the Guidance department before the second semester of grade 11.
Students who opt for early graduation are not eligible to take PSEO classes after they graduate.
PASS/FAIL COURSES
As per W-E Board policy, a student may enroll in a course on a pass/fail basis only when the course is
not a requirement for graduation. The decision to take a course on a pass/fail basis should be made
before the course begins. No more than one course may be taken under pass/fail each semester.
Pass/fail courses do not count in the Grade Point Average (GPA).
The pass/fail course will count for credit in the 21.5 credits needed for graduation and grades will appear
on the report card, which will indicate the student’s progress on the A through F scale. The A through F
scale will be converted to a pass (P) or fail (F) in the final grade. If the final grade is A, B, C or D then a “P”
for “pass” will appear. If the final grade is F, an “F” for “fail” will appear. All through the year the eligibility
rules apply, meaning that a Pass/Fall course must show a passing grade for a student to be eligible.
Students may want to check with the colleges they are considering to ensure that the college will accept the
pass/fail indicator in lieu of a letter grade. The student’s transcript will indicate “P” (pass) or “F” (fail) for any
course he or she takes under this option.
REPORT CARDS
Report cards provide a summary of a student’s scholastic achievement and his/her attendance and
tardiness record. Report cards are issued each quarter, which spans approximately nine weeks.
Parents/guardians may access grades on PowerSchool.
AWARDS FOR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
In accordance with the Willoughby-Eastlake Board of Education’s philosophy that students should be
recognized for achievement in all areas of the district’s educational program, a system of awards for
academic excellence has been established. The end-of-the year grade point average from the previous
school year shall determine eligibility for awards. Separate awards shall be given for the Principal’s List
(GPA of 3.76 and above, with no grade below a “C”) and for the Honor Roll (GPA of 3.0 to 3.75 with no
grade below a “C”). A separate system of academic awards has been established for students in special
education programs.
HONOR ROLL
To Achieve Honor Roll status in the middle schools and high schools, a student must earn:
4.0+ - 3.76
Principal’s List
3.75 - 3.0
Honor Roll
3
HONORS DIPLOMA
The Ohio State Board of Education has established a Diploma with Honors. Students must meet
the following criteria:
The student who completes the high school academic curriculum shall meet at least seven of
the following eight criteria:
1. Earn four units of English;
2. Earn at least four units of Mathematics which shall include Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry
and another higher level course or a four-year sequence of courses which contains
equivalent content;
3. Earn at least four units of Science including one unit of Physics and one unit of Chemistry;
4. Earn four units of Social Studies;
5. Earn three units of a World (Foreign) Language (must include no less than two units for
which credit is sought), i.e., three units of one language or two units each of two languages;
6. Earn one unit of Fine Arts;
7. Maintain an overall high school grade point average of at least 3.5 on a four-point scale up
to the last grading period of the senior year; or
8. Obtain a composite score of 27 on the American College Test's (ACT) assessment
(excluding the optional writing test) or a combined score of 1210 on the College Board's
SAT verbal and mathematics sections (excluding the required writing section).
Beginning with the graduating class of 2012, the student who completes an intensive CareerTechnical education curriculum shall meet at least seven of the following eight criteria:
1. Earn four units of English;
2. Earn at least four units of Mathematics which shall include Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry
and another higher level course, or a four-year sequence of courses which contains
equivalent content;
3. Earn at least four units of Science, including two advanced sciences;
4. Earn four units of Social Studies;
5. Earn four units in a Career-Technical education program that leads to an industryrecognized credential, results in an apprenticeship or is part of an articulated career
pathway, which can lead to post-secondary credit. If the student's program design does
not provide for any of these outcomes, then the student must achieve the proficiency
benchmark established for the applicable Ohio career-technical competency assessment
or the equivalent;
6. Achieve the proficiency benchmark established for the Ohio Career-Technical Competency
Assessment (available at http://www.webxam.org/info_docs.asp, with additional
content available by clicking here ) or equivalent assessment aligned with state-approved
and industry validated technical standards;
7. Maintain an overall high school grade point average of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale up to
the last grading period of the senior year; or
8. Obtain a composite score of 27 on the American College Testing Service's (ACT)
assessment (excluding the optional writing test) or a combined score of 1210 on the
CollegeBoard's SAT verbal and mathematics sections (excluding the score obtained on
the required writing section).

ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES
All students in Grades 6 through 12 who wish to participate in school activities must meet a
minimum required grade point average of 2.0. “Activities” have two traits:
1. They are not required as part of a student’s academic program, and
2. A paid advisor is employed.
For specific activities, particular buildings may establish higher grade point averages than the
minimum required as well as other requirements not noted here. For purposes of activities,
grade point averages are cumulative from the beginning of each grading period. At the start
of a grading period, a student’s eligibility for participation shall be based on his/her
grade point average by the immediately preceding grading period.
OHSAA guidelines for Grades 7 – 12: To be eligible, a passing grade in five one-credit
subjects or five credits collectively each grading period is mandatory. (For clarification,
see your counselor or Athletic Director). For all students, eligibility for the first grading
period of a school year is determined by the 4th grading period grades from the previous
school year. In addition to the W-E requirements, the rules of the Ohio High School Athletic
Association (OHSAA) regarding eligibility of students also apply to all programs. Summer
school grades may not substitute an “F” received in the final grading period of the
regular school year or for a lack of enough courses taken the preceding grading period.
The following district rules apply for each grading period: Students with an average of 2.0 or
higher at the beginning of each grading period, and who meet all other requirements of the
(OHSAA) standards, shall be fully eligible for participation until interim reports. If the student’s
average is still at least 2.0 when interims are issued, (4 ½ weeks), the student is eligible for the
remainder of the grading period. Students with less than 2.0 shall be on weekly probation.
Checks are conducted on the first day of each school week. Any student ineligibilities take effect
on games occurring that same week. Students with an average of less than 2.0 at the beginning
of a grading period shall be on probation until interim reports are issued. If the
student has not reached an average of 2.0 at the time interims are issued, the student is
ineligible for the remainder of the grading period.
No probationary period is permitted for a student who does not meet the standards of the
OHSAA which states that a student must pass the equivalent of 5 credits the preceding 9 weeks
to be eligible the following 9 weeks. An ineligible student under this rule shall remain ineligible
until the fifth school day after the end of the next grading period.
For any student placed on probation for participation or declared ineligible, tutoring either before
or after regular school hours can be arranged, but is not mandated. Students other than athletes
may attend tutorial sessions. In the event that a student is not capable of maintaining the
required grade point average, a review panel is appointed by the principal to recommend
whether or not the student shall be allowed to participate in athletic activities. A
recommendation is made to the superintendent for approval.
As per W-E policy, students with an individualized educational plan (IEP), except for students
with speech and hearing problems, shall not be declared ineligible. This provision does not
waive any state requirements for eligibility.
Remember: A student must pass 5 credits each semester to be eligible for
participation.
5
SCHEDULE CHANGE PROCEDURES
Students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) should carefully consider schedule choices at registration time.
Every effort will be made to ensure that students are enrolled in the courses they and their
parent(s)/guardian(s) select at the close of the 2013-2014 school year. However, insufficient enrollment
can cause the cancellation of specific classes or scheduling conflicts and may require the student to be
placed in his/her alternate course requests. A minimum enrollment is required for a course to be
scheduled.
Once school begins, schedule changes can only be made for the following reasons:







Missing a required subject,
Scheduled for less than 5 credits,
Missing a lunch,
Short credits for eligibility,
Short credits to meet graduation requirements if the student is a senior,
Medical necessity as verified by a physician’s statement,
Administrative decisions to balance class size and/or to resolve schedule conflicts and to
otherwise meet the needs of individual students under extraordinary circumstances.
Any questions about schedules should be addressed to the appropriate guidance counselor
within the first three weeks of each semester. When a course is dropped for any reason other
than those noted above, a grade of “F” will be reported.
Career and Technical Education programs may not be dropped. These state-funded programs are
staffed on the basis of student enrollment; enrollment must remain firm to maintain eligibility for state
funds. It is understood, therefore, that a student who has applied for and been accepted into a career
and technical education program has made a commitment, confirmed by his or her parent(s)/guardian(s),
to remain in it for at least one full year.

NATIONAL TESTING PROGRAMS
Participation in the following tests is highly recommended for students considering post high
school education:
1. PLAN TEST – Grades 9, 10 - Administered in October/November 2014.
2. PSAT/NMSQT – Administered to all students in Grades 10 & 11 AT NO COST TO STUDENTS Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test / National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (ONLY 11th
grade scores considered for this) - October 15, 2014
4. ACT American College Test (Sophomores interested in Ashland University Dual Credit and ALL
Juniors should take this test in the spring.)
5. SAT Scholastic Aptitude Test (Juniors should take this test in the spring.)
Both the ACT and the SAT may be taken more than once. Seniors who have not taken the
tests in their junior year must take the tests in the fall of the senior year.

Registration dates for all tests are published in advance. These are important to note to
avoid paying a late fee. Registration may be done online. Fee waivers may be available
to students based upon financial need.
SAT Waiver information: http://sat.collegeboard.org/SAT/public/pdf/counselors-guide-to-sat-programfee-waivers.pdf
ACT waiver information: http://www.actstudent.org/faq/answers/feewaiver.html
Students who take a minimum of Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry typically achieve higher
ACT Math scores than students who do not. In addition, students who take more advanced
math courses substantially increase their ACT Math score.
Students taking Biology and Chemistry in combination with Physics typically achieve higher ACT
Science scores than students not taking these science courses.
Required exams for all students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) Courses are given in
May. A fee is required for ONLY THE 1st AP Course per student per school year, with the
district covering the cost of any additional exams per student per school year. (This
means that a student enrolled in 5 AP courses would take 5 exams, yet pay for only 1.)
Fee reductions are available for students with acute financial need.
Please contact the guidance counselor for more information.

INSTRUCTIONAL OPTIONS
CAREER-TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
Career-Technical education programs are programs deigned to help prepare students for future careers.
These programs meet graduation requirements and develop skills to the extent that a student may qualify
for an entry-level position in the business world.
SEE PAGES 36-46 FOR DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF CAREER-TECHNICAL PROGRAMS.
EDUCATIONAL OPTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The intent of the Willoughby-Eastlake Schools is to provide each student with a broad, comprehensive
education. Students may choose the educational program which best suits their individual needs.
 Our primary goal is to ensure students have mastered the basic skills, which will enable them
to become life long learners and cope with the challenges of a changing society.
 The second goal is to offer students the opportunity to choose their own sequence of studies
that will assist them in developing the personal, career, and educational skills necessary for
success either in their chosen vocation or in college.
Once students can demonstrate mastery of basic skills, other options are available to them such as the
High Ability courses, Honors courses, Advanced Placement program, Independent Study, Mentorship,
and the PSEO (Post Secondary Educational Option).
High Ability, Honors or AP courses are suggested for students who are recommended by the
teachers, have high OAA/OGT scores, and an above-average GPA, however, students may enroll
in these courses on a conditional basis if they have met prerequisites. AP Potential Data from the
PSAT results is also valuable in identifying student readiness for AP coursework.
HIGH ABILITY COURSES
High Ability courses do not carry a weighted grade.
High Ability offerings include: English I, Integrated Science, Integrated Social Studies, & American
History.
HONORS COURSES
Honors courses include: English II Honors, English III (Amer. Lit.) Honors, English IV (Brit. Lit.) Honors,
French V Honors, Spanish V Honors, Honors Geometry, Honors Algebra II/Trig., Honors Pre-Calculus,
Honors Biology, Honors Chemistry

ADVANCED PLACEMENT
Advanced Placement courses offer students the opportunity to complete college-level studies at the high
school level. All students enrolled in an AP course will be required to take the nationally administered
AP exam in May. Students will be assessed a student fee to cover the cost of their first AP course exam per
school year, regardless of the number of additional AP courses and exams s/he will take during the school
year. This means that a student who enrolls in five (5) AP courses will take five (5) exams, yet pay for only
one (1) exam. A limited number of fee reductions that reduce the cost per exam are available to students
who are on the Free or Reduced lunch program.
A student who is successful on the AP examination(s) and in the course(s) may enter college with
some college credits already completed. Most colleges and universities in Ohio accept only a score of a
“3” or above in order to receive college credit. Check specific college/university for requirements. An
AP Grade Report is sent in early July to each student, school, and, if the student so requested, to his or her
college.
AP Potential Data from the PSAT indicates the likelihood of a student obtaining a score of 3 or higher
on each AP exam, if he/she completes the related AP course.
The following criteria are used to determine eligibility for AP coursework:

In order to enroll in an AP course, a student
must meet 3 points toward eligibility in any combination of the following ways:



Advanced Placement courses offered at North and South High Schools include: AP English Language, AP
English Literature, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics B,
AP European History, AP U.S. History, AP U.S. Government & Politics, and AP Computer Science A. Some
Honors and elective courses, such as Psychology, Theory of Economics, Spanish V and French V, may
provide the academic readiness for students to take the AP tests.

INDEPENDENT STUDY
Independent Study projects designed to duplicate courses in the regular program of instruction will not be
approved, since it is the intent of the State Minimum Standards that these courses shall supplement, not
replace, group instructional processes; however, an exception to this rule may be made when a course
needed for graduation is not available to a student and when such an exception is approved by the
building principal and the director of secondary education. To enroll in an Independent Study course, the
student must obtain the agreement of a teacher to act as advisor. Credit may vary from 0 - 1 credit; no
more than ½ credit may be taken each semester, and no more than 1 credit a year. Parent/guardian
permission is required. An Independent Study course requires both an application and approval prior to
the implementation of course work. Consult with a guidance counselor for the necessary application
forms and further information.
MENTORSHIP
This program permits a student to study subjects not included in the regular curriculum by obtaining the
cooperation of a person in the community who has some special expertise. Such programs are especially
helpful to those students interested in various types of apprenticeships and other non-traditional learning
experiences. Verification of the proposed mentor’s character and expertise is required, as well as
parent/guardian permission. No more than one-half credit per year may be earned through mentorship.
A mentorship credit requires both an application and approval prior to implementation of course work.
See your guidance counselor for the necessary application forms and further information.
POST SECONDARY ENROLLMENT
The Post Secondary Enrollment Options program has been established to permit high school students
in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 to earn college credit and high school graduation credit at the same time.
Qualified high school students may experience coursework at the college or university level while still in
high school. A student admitted to a course by an institution of higher education will be expected and
required to perform at the same level as the institution’s regular students. College courses should
either contribute to or supplement the broad academic preparation offered by Willoughby-Eastlake high
schools. Credit for highly specialized content courses can be given, but should not substitute the college
preparatory courses. Guidelines and procedures for the awarding of high school graduation credit and/or
college credit to high school students enrolled in college courses are:
WHO? Ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students may enroll full or part time for courses for high
school and/or college credit. The following conditions must be met:
1. College must accept the student (i.e. some institutions require Junior or Senior status, etc.)
2. GPA of 3.0 or better grade-point average in the subject he/she wishes to study at the
postsecondary institution as evidenced by official HS transcript as of January 2014.
3. The college must send written notice to the student, parent/guardian, district superintendent,
and superintendent of public instruction within ten days of enrollment. Such notice shall
include courses and hours of enrollment and the option selected.
4. Meets other testing requirements/grade point requirements identified by institution for
PSEO and/or per specific course.
TWO POST SECONDARY ENROLLMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE:
OPTION A: permits eligible students to receive only college credit for courses successfully completed.
Option A requires students or parents to pay all costs incurred, including tuition, books, materials, and
fees by the student.
OPTION B: permits eligible students to receive both college credit and high school graduation credit
for successfully completed courses. Option B requires no payment for tuition, books, materials, or fees
from the student.

PSEO POTENTIAL BENEFITS
1.
2
3.
4.
5.
Students can take courses not offered in the high school and/or take more advanced courses.
Provides opportunities for students to study “in-depth” areas of special interest or need.
Allows students to receive both high school and college credit while still in high school.
Reduces college costs while earning high school and college credit.
Students experience college-level work/life prior to making final decisions for the future.
PSEO POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES
1. Increases student responsibility for learning.
2. May reduce opportunities for participating in high school activities.
3. May increase financial obligations for education:
a. Tuition, fees, books, materials under Option A.
b. Inability to work an outside job.
4. Possible effect on GPA and class standing (Traditional PSEO courses offered on the
campus of various colleges/universities are not weighted; Dual Credit courses are
weighted on a 4.5 scale and AP courses are weighted on a 5.0 scale).
5. Increases time for travel (student’s responsibility) to and from school, study, etc.
6. Social discomfort. PSEO students will be enrolled in courses with adult students
who may range in age from 18-100+.
7. Grade reporting periods for colleges are often quite different from those for high
schools. This can cause problems when calculating GPA. Additionally, there is no
communication between the college professor and parents/guardians and/or the high
school regarding student attendance and/or academic concerns. This places the
responsibility for monitoring progress and regular attendance solely on the student. This
means that a student could be in danger of failing without knowledge of the high school or
parent/guardian. (SEE #8)
8. Under Option B - financial obligations become the parent/student’s responsibility if the
student is withdrawn from class after the identified grace period.
9. Vacation days at the home school and the PSEO school may not coincide. PSEO
classes may be in session while the home school is on vacation.
10.Presence and safety on a college campus requires maturity, good judgment, and
sound problem-solving ability.
School districts will award comparable credit for high school graduation, in terms of
quantity and quality, for successfully completed college work. Any disputes between students and
local boards of education regarding high school credits granted for college work may be appealed
to the State Board of Education whose decision is final. Student records must reflect evidence of
successful completion of each course for high school credit to be awarded. The student’s
permanent record shall indicate the college and the courses taken for high school credit, and the
number of credits to be awarded.
The student shall provide a copy of the college’s notice of grade given for any course
taken for high school credit. The grade shall be included in the calculation of the student’s total
grade point average, as though the course were being taken in high school. Traditional PSEO
(courses taken on a college/university campus) grades are not weighted. Dual Credit courses
will be weighted as Honors level courses. The rationale for this weight is that these college
courses are taught by W-E teachers who are able to inform the syllabus, review materials used, and
validate that the rigor and relevance of each course matches that of our existing Honors level
courses. A course taken for “pass/fail” shall indicate whether passed or failed, but shall not be
considered in calculating the student’s grade point average.

For those students enrolled in the PSEO program under OPTION B, the college will be
reimbursed for tuition, fees, materials, and textbooks by the State of Ohio, not the student.
The college enrolling a student under the PSEO Program will grant college credit for courses
successfully completed. Other colleges may or may not grant credit. The decision to grant the
credit depends upon the articulation agreements between and among colleges.
Participation in the PSEO Program requires the following:
1. Attend one (1) of the “The Changing Face of High School” programs provided by
the district.
2. Complete the Post Secondary Enrollment Options “Intent to Participate” and
“Information Certification” forms and return to school by March 28, 2014.
DUAL CREDIT
Dual Credit is an emerging option within the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options. To be eligible, students
must meet aforementioned PSEO requirements. This program provides college coursework, offered for
both high school and college credit, by a high school teacher who is an adjunct professor at said
college/university, within our district schools. Dual Credit opportunities enable students to remain
within their home high school and take courses for high school and college credit within the
school day, from W-E teachers. This ensures that students have the opportunity for academic support
as needed, that regular student attendance is monitored, and that communication regarding any
academic concerns will be relayed to parent(s)/guardian(s) via the high school throughout the semester.
As of the 2014-15 school year, Dual Credit courses will be weighted as Honors level courses. The
rationale for this weight is that these college courses are taught by W-E teachers who are able to inform
the syllabus, review materials used, and validate that the rigor and relevance of each course matches
that of our existing Honors level courses. Please see “Dual Credit Offerings” listed on pages 47-50.
CREDIT FLEXIBILITY
Credit Flexibility applies to credit earned through pre-approved coursework, assessments and/or
performances that demonstrate proficiency. Credit awarded through this policy will be posted on the
student’s transcript and counted as graduation credit in either the related subject area or as an elective.
Credit Flexibility is a program that allows students to earn high school credits in the following ways:



Completing coursework in the traditional setting
Testing out or showing mastery of course content
Pursuing educational options such as online coursework, independent study, internships, service
learning, research-based projects, dual credit college – high school programs, distance learning
educational travel
Applications for Credit Flexibility options are available within each guidance department and via the district
website. For more information, please contact the current (or receiving) HS Guidance Counselor.

CAREER-TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Ohio College Tech Prep programs are shared resources among the Euclid, Mentor, Wickliffe
and Willoughby-Eastlake School districts. Together, these districts comprise the Lake Shore
Compact. The goal of a college tech prep program is to provide a seamless curriculum
pathway beginning in the junior year and continuing through a two-year associate degree
program. Tech Prep blends college prep and technical education into an exciting program with
two primary goals – to help students to prepare for high-tech careers and to help employers
obtain better-prepared workers. Through cooperation and agreements with four-year
universities, students also have the option of continuing their education toward a bachelor’s
degree.
Some Compact programs require students to travel to neighboring districts or Lakeland
Community College and spend a portion of the day, or in some cases, the entire day at the
program site. If the student spends a partial day attending the program, students will return to
their home school for academic subjects. If students spend the whole day at the program site,
students will remain at the program school for academic subjects. When considering Ohio Tech
Prep options, it is important to know that:






Transportation is provided
Students graduate from their home high school
Students can participate in home high school extra-curricular activities
Most programs are two-years, beginning in the junior year
An application process is required
Articulation and college credit may be available to successful completers
Registration begins in February of the year prior to program enrollment. Interested students and
their parents should complete a career-technical application which may be obtained from the
Guidance Office. The completed applications with parent signatures should be returned to the
Guidance Office for processing. Students will be notified of their acceptance.
Once enrolled in a two-year tech prep program, the junior will be expected to remain in that
program for the two years. Students will receive 3 credits per year for their programs.
Fee and equipment charges are required for all tech prep programs. Students will be given
a list of these charges by their instructors at the beginning of the course. The Lake Shore
